BLUE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST

“Hani Naji’s abstract series Blue explores the ethereal vibrancy of the color, delving into its profound spiritual and symbolic meanings. Throughout history, blue has represented the divine, the infinite, and the mysterious, from the sacred lapis lazuli of ancient Egypt to the rich blues of medieval religious art. The color embodies both spiritual transcendence and the depths of the unknown.

In Blue, Naji layers electric blue lines over a dark amber canvas, evoking the sensation of the color emerging from the shadows. The luminous blue lines pulse with an energy reminiscent of fluorescence, drawing the viewer into a mystical interplay of light and darkness. The contrast between the vibrant blue and the dark background gives the color a commanding presence, while the layered lines suggest a narrative that is both hidden and revealed.

Naji’s brushwork channels blue’s deep symbolic weight, merging historical reverence with modern abstraction. The fluidity and intensity of the blue lines invite introspection, blurring the boundaries between the material and the spiritual. Through this work, Naji transforms blue into a dynamic force that transcends representation, evoking both the divine and the pulse of life.

Blue is part of a larger collection of 12 pieces, with Naji continuing to explore the color’s symbolic potential in future works. The series invites a deeper connection to both the cosmic and the personal.”
